Raid1 Problem

1999-10-15 Thread Sebastian Westhoff
Hello, i got following problem. I want to make Software-RAID1 with two SCSI-HDs (9,1Gig/IBM) under S.U.S.E. 6.2 Distrib. OK, what I did was: mdcreate raid1 /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mdcreate raid1 /dev/md1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 (/dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 are my swaps) My mdtab now reads like:

IDE mirroring controller?

1999-10-15 Thread Raid
I have seen an ad for a PCI IDE controller that will allow up to 4 IDE drives to connected in a stripe /or mirror combination. The ad said that the controller was compatible with just about everything - Windoze, Unix, Linux, Novell, DOS, NT etc. I thin you just dropped it in and then booted DOS

mirroring root: rescue boot can't mount

1999-10-15 Thread Drenning Bruce
running rh6.1 w/ scsi I'm getting there. slowly. I've got a couple of partitions mirrored. However, when I boot from the rescue diskette, I cannot mount either of the raid partitions. mount does not report an error, but it doesn't work either. Before I mirror root, I'd like to know how to do

Booting on RAID 1

1999-10-15 Thread Paul
Hi. I guess this keeps on coming up, but I'll ask anyhow. I want to boot on a RAID 1 array. I have 3 disks (sda, sdb, sdc), all of which work fine. They are all partitioned identically: sd?1 = 8GB, sd?2=128MB swap. I build the system on sda1. All the swap files are used fine. I build a RAID

Re: Root RAID1 SCSI crash sanity (includes kernel oops)

Hot swappable caddies. We use some nice metal ones (metal transfers heat better) with individual fans for each caddy. The drives stay cool, the ID can be set from the receiver instead of the caddie, so that customers can change out a failed drive and they don't have to find their "7 level"

Docs for raidtools?

1999-10-15 Thread Michael J. Rensing
Hi, I just recovered from the loss of a disk in a RAID-5 setup. It took a while to figure out what to do. In the process, I realized that the documentation of what to do AFTER RAID is installed and running is rather sparse. e.g. there is no man page for raidhotadd, and I only figured out it

RE: IDE mirroring controller?

I found it again. http://www.arcoide.com/ You should watch out for the details. I notice that their solution only does write mirroring and fail-over, no read balancing. One review they link to also mentions that the reviewer couldn't run the disks in DMA mode after installing... and that

degraded mode notification

Rather than polling the /proc filesystem to see if the system goes into degraded mode, what are your thoughts on having the kernel exec a command when it goes degraded? -Laz.
